From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> __ip_vs_service_get and __ip_vs_svc_fwm_get increment a reference count, so that reference count should be decremented before leaving the function in an error case. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r exists@ local idexpression x; expression E; identifier f1; iterator I; @@ x = __ip_vs_service_get(...); <... when != x when != true (x == NULL || ...) when != if (...) { <+...x...+> } when != I (...) { <+...x...+> } ( x == NULL | x == E | x->f1 ) ...> * return ...; // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_ctl.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_ctl.c b/net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_ctl.c index 0f0c079..f98169b 100644 --- a/net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_ctl.c +++ b/net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_ctl.c @@ -2155,7 +2155,7 @@ do_ip_vs_set_ctl(struct sock *sk, int cmd, void __user *user, unsigned int len) if (cmd != IP_VS_SO_SET_ADD && (svc == NULL || svc->protocol != usvc.protocol)) { ret = -ESRCH; - goto out_unlock; + goto out_drop_service; } switch (cmd) { @@ -2189,6 +2189,7 @@ do_ip_vs_set_ctl(struct sock *sk, int cmd, void __user *user, unsigned int len) ret = -EINVAL; } +out_drop_service: if (svc) ip_vs_service_put(svc); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
